Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said that the death of former Cambridge professor Jason Arday was “a tragedy on so many levels” and that now it was a "moment for reflection."
Mr Arday was found "unresponsive" at an address in Battersea, south London, on Friday
Mr Burnham said: "It’s a tragedy on so many levels, but particularly just for everybody who knew Jason, his family obviously, his friends. We think of think of them today.
“It’s not a moment for any rushing to judgment. It’s a moment for reflection, I would say, reflecting on how how things came to this.
“A really sad, sad and sorry state of affairs and I think we all today think of Jason, his contribution, and his family and friends.”
The Metropolitan Police said Mr Arday's death is being treated as unexpected, but is not believed to be suspicious.
